I definitely notice women's nails especially in colors like yellow or dark blue etc rather than the mundane red. Nails can look really hot on a girl.  Some women do elaborate art that catches my eye. It seems like the most natural thing in the world for a man to compliment a woman on something like that but the way things are today I never say anything and hardly look at women. She could be standing in front of me naked and I wouldn't register anything.  Neha Jangid on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2254023 Sat, 05 Mar 2022 06:09:06 +0000 Neha Jangid 2254023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Why not? Most of us think a lot when it comes to complementing others. I used to as well, but now I just say what I feel and it makes me feel amazing to make someone's day.

May I also I add, I'm loving those nails the Mrs. is rocking!" bj1111 on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2209166 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 00:51:28 +0000 bj1111 2209166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Our favorite Resto has very well dressed house managers. All the staff have something special about their outfits, like a great belt or really fun sneakers. I always compliment them—started with our first visit. Now mr bj111 gets into the act and I think he may start shopping at the same stores.

And to be perfectly honest, while I like to compliment, my original post here was because I worry that someone would not want  to hear a compliment, whatever the reason. If ever bj1111, lisa P and bridgie (me) were in a mini meet up---- well I am cracking up just thinking about it.  But hey, it would be nice!

I don’t love it when people I don’t know comment on my appearance or outfit or nails so I make sure I don’t do that to others . Not trying to stir up trouble here - just presenting another point of view . bj1111 on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2209029 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 18:01:26 +0000 bj1111 2209029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I’m approaching this decade by tell everyone—including random strangers how fabulous they look including a specific comment about why I think it is great. Women especially seem to appreciate it. Stagiaire Fash on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208972 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 13:36:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2208972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ About him replying to you first—tossing off “congrats” or “happy birthday” or “you look great” or the like is very easy to do. Even if it is heart felt, it looks the same as many other greetings. I try to do what you did—put in some kind of reference to a particular detail—to show I’m paying attention to them. bridgie on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208912 Sat, 10 Jul 2021 17:22:14 +0000 bridgie 2208912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, Joy.  So true.  If I knew everyone else enjoyed compliments as much as I do I would probably give more.  Although I do think I am generous with compliments.  Thank you for chiming in here!

Compliments can be tricky but are always nice to receive. bridgie on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208829 Sat, 10 Jul 2021 03:10:21 +0000 bridgie 2208829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ rachylou, thank you.  I know I posted before you replied, but I thought you would agree the way I did it was O.K. Be sure to read all my comments to Windchime next. Windchime, I love your first sentence above,  but in my overthinking way about everything, and considering how very easily some people are offended, I was worried she might be offended if I complimented her.  Figure that out if you can.  I can't.  Lol And you were right on about them being pleased.  He was very quick to shoot back a Like to me.  At the time I posted they already had over 300 anniversary wishes, none of which mentioned clothing or nails (only a YLFabber would). So, I can imagine his reaction when he saw it! And knowing him he will catch up and do a reaction for every post they had, but I was pleased that mine seemed to make it to the top of the list very quickly.  And of course, I know her reaction was same as his, since he did the post and usually always does for both of them. Thanks to all of you!

I think both husband and wife will be pleased that you noticed and complimented her pretty nails. rachylou on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208811 Sat, 10 Jul 2021 00:14:13 +0000 rachylou 2208811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it!

But, as bj suggests, address both of them in your comments. If they were in front of you, you wouldn’t tell him that her nails looked great. Write it the way you would say it. They will be happy to receive your good wishes, no matter how they are phrased. bj1111 on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208727 Fri, 09 Jul 2021 18:06:56 +0000 bj1111 2208727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A simple “happy anniversary and btw I love your nails” I think the bride would know that the comment was meant for her bridgie on "Pretty Nails" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-nails#post-2208718 Fri, 09 Jul 2021 17:17:22 +0000 bridgie 2208718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A younger professional friend of mine and his wife have posted their anniversary picture on facebook.  (Guess I think it's YLF, LOL') Anyway, practically everyone is saying Happy Anniversary.  I want to say that or something to that effect, But I also want to compliment her on her beautiful nails.  Is that appropriate?  And if it is appropriate, do I use her first name, as I do his, or should I say Mrs  their last name.?  I have not met her.
